> Surgical masks aren't mentioned in the quote from Fauci or the quote from Reason.
Nor where cloth masks mentioned by Fauci yet they were by 'Reason' so it's the same difference.
> Cloth masks don't meet any standard of quality or well-fittedness
Where are you getting that info from ? I had a cloth mask with n95 filter slips that seemed to fit exceptionally well. No study was done on mine though.

Yes, Reason mentioned "the cloth masks that most people were required to wear indoors throughout the pandemic". And Fauci did not mention them, but he did make a statement about them, which was that the category "masks that work in [the] prevention of acquisition and transmission [of covid-19]" doesn't include them. And that is the same statement that Reason reports. >> Cloth masks don't meet any standard of quality or well-fittedness > Where are you getting that info from ? I had a cloth mask with n95 filter slips that seemed to fit exceptionally well. Well, I'm familiar with the standard that cloth masks do meet, which is "any piece of cloth, such as part of an old t-shirt, with ear straps attached". You're free to wear something that meets a higher standard than that, but it's never been a requirement. What was Reason talking about again? (I should also note that your personal cloth mask wasn't meeting a standard of fit either. N95 masks are quite painful to wear, because they have to maintain a seal.)
- bilekas 4y agoYeah okay, I get that and not going to have an argument over it, just the phrasing from Reason rubbed me wrong.
